I got a bad feelin about this ! Maybe I need to make a few modifications if you have some suggestions?Something is not right.I know I'm not happy with it. Hey it happens.This is one picI will send a link to the other pics on photobucket in my next update.

Patreek,I like it also. What or where did you get those purple/pink things on the last 2 shots? Eucalyptuas you used looks good too. I might have to try some out myself now for one of the trees I'm working on.

I would change the white flowers you have in the canyon. Make them more curvy, like they grow up, but do to the weigh they arc down. Also maybe next time you can add a filler to the foam-core to give that more of a natural rock look. Foam-core just doesn't look right without some filler or covering IMO. Other than that it looks really good.

Ya something is not right about the foam core. I got an idea for that later. I looked at some of the landscape pics (Daigo-bah and another from Yackface .com)and noticed greyish type (limestone type rocks). What do you guys think? Right know it looks too Geonosis. All the flowers are from the dollarama. Do you have that chain of stores in the US? I'm sure You can get them at any dollar store. I also used Stake spice from the dollar store for some vegetation on the plateau. Can you be more specific about the plants that you have resevations about. (Which ones are the white ones).

What a great looking canyon. It looks like real rock and I like the plants. The scale is very much in line. Are those real flowers. Is this going to require watering? I think what would be cool is to have a small stream going thru the canyon. Some kind of clear plastic might work here. Maybe a waterfall? It would be even better to have real water.

This is coming together excellently Patreek. Though I still see a little pink foamcore from a couple of spots, I think its looking sweet so far. I agree with Phruby though, you should add a few more plants.

I think it's time to take charge (at least as far as my contribution is concerned). I don't think I can make it to C4. Therefore i need to figure out what I can commit to. I noticed at Yack face some dude showed an expencive version of a rock face from Michaels. I am here to tell you that I can offer something very similar with very litle cost in production. Being in Canada, I can mass produce the following item and ship for a reasonable cost (it styrofoam). It took one night to make it. To be very honest I don't know who the top man is but I think if you view my step by step pics of the following, it would be nice if I could get approval to be responsible for making these rock faces. Hang on here we go.

Steped layered Styro

Exacto knife magic

Just a layer of latex paint mixed with water. I need a protective layer to reduce the effect of what I call the mega step.

Gauge with a knife to also prep for the mega step.

MEGA STEP!!! A harsh layer of spray paint to corrode the styro to make it more rocky.

I used plaster of paris but nextime I will use dry wall compound and more of it in order to reduce the step effect of the styro sheets.

That may be something I'll take you up on patreek. We are going to need to figure out exactly what the terrain will look like so we can get the right shapes and the right ammount of rocks, etc. Stay tuned though, I think that you will probably end up prefabing a lof the rock faces for us.
